Questions and Answers

How can an electrical inspection protect my Salina home from lightning surge damage?

A professional electrical inspection by Total Electric assesses your home's critical defenses. We thoroughly check your grounding system, main electrical panel, and any existing surge protection devices. For Salina homes, we often recommend and install whole-house surge protectors at the main panel, which act as a first line of defense against powerful surges from nearby lightning strikes, safeguarding your expensive electronics and appliances.

What are the signs of an overheated outlet that I should look for in my home?

Common signs in Salina homes include discoloration or scorch marks on the outlet cover, a persistent burning smell near the outlet, plugs that feel warm to the touch, or outlets that intermittently lose power. These often indicate loose wiring connections or an overloaded circuit, both serious fire hazards. If you notice any of these, it's crucial to stop using the outlet and call us for an immediate safety inspection.

Why is a professional electrical inspection important before buying an older home in Salina?

Many of Salina's charming older homes have original wiring that may not handle today's electrical demands, leading to overheated circuits and increased fire risk. Our pre-purchase inspection goes beyond a basic home inspection, using specialized tools to evaluate the condition of the wiring, the capacity of the electrical panel, and the safety of all outlets and switches. This reveals hidden issues like aluminum wiring or insufficient grounding, helping you make an informed decision and plan for necessary updates.
